These are just a small selection of the photos that I took at a Small Cats photography workshop that I attended on the 21st July. The workshop was held at The Cat Survival Trust, a voluntary and charitable organization devoted to the conservation and preservation of wild cats.The workshop was taken by John from Photographers on Safari.The whole day was an experience I will never forget, it was so well organised and informative with great opportunities to get some really up close and memorable photos. The whole day was topped off with a surprise appearance of a Snow Leopard cub, she was just 7 weeks old and was one of a litter of three cubs born at the Cat Survival Trusts twelve acre site in Hertfordshire.To be up close and be able to carefully stroke such an amazing creature is a once in a lifetime moment.For most my photographs I used my Canon 400D and a 70mm to 300mm Canon lens. The shots of the Snow Leopard cub were taken using a Canon 100mm Macro lens.For the last four photographs I used my point and shoot camera, a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 on the Macro Zoom setting!
